For a spicier ketchup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes during the simmering process. The ketchup will thicken slightly as it cools. Make sure to remove all the cloves before blending. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, create layers of tomatoes, bell peppers, and onion, seasoning each layer generously with pickling salt. Repeat until all vegetables are used. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for 4-5 hours to draw out excess moisture. (Prep time: 15 minutes, Refrigeration: 4-5 hours)
02
StepPour the vegetables into a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold, running water to remove the salt. Transfer the rinsed vegetables to a large pot with a lid. Stir in the white vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, white sugar, whole cloves, and dark corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for approximately 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to turn a pale, translucent color. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (Cooking time: 40 minutes)
03
StepOnce the vegetables are very soft and easily mashed, carefully press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or food mill. Be diligent in searching for and removing all of the whole cloves before pressing. This step ensures a smooth, refined ketchup. Allow the ketchup to cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers and storing it in the refrigerator. (Cooling time: 1 hour)
